The Plan for Stafford Borough manages where new development (such as housing, shops and green spaces) can take place over the next 20 years.

The Plan for Stafford Borough (Part 1) contains a vision, spatial principles and specific policies which will guide development across the Borough.

Part 2 of the Plan for Stafford Borough details settlement and Recognised Industrial Estate boundaries together with a policy protecting community / social facilities. The Neighbourhood Plans will be used to determine planning applications within the relevant Parishes alongside the adopted Plan for Stafford Borough and Part 2.

Please note that the Settlement Boundary for Stafford as established by Policy SB1 of the Plan for Stafford Borough Part 2, has been quashed on 4th July 2017 in respect of employment use (but for no other purpose).
